U2 Songs Of Innocence
2 Record Set
WHITE VINYL Sealed- New

This Limited Edition double LP housed in a gatefold sleeve is pressed in Czech republic with Side D at 45 RPM.

Songs Of Innocence is the thirteenth studio album by Irish rock band U2, originally released in September 2014 by Island Records.
No other rock band does rebirth like U2. No other band believes it needs rebirth more and so often. But even by the standards of transformation on 1987's The Joshua Tree and 1991's Achtung! Baby, Songs Of Innocence - U2's first studio album in five years - is a triumph of dynamic, focused renaissance, Tracks of straightforward rapture about the life-saving joys of music, drawing on U2's long palette of influences and investigations of post-punk rock, industrial electronics and contemporary dance music.
Songs Of Innocence is aptly named, after William Blake's 1789 collection of poems about man's perpetually great age of discovery – childhood.
Where the U2 of the '90s looked forward, the 2014 U2 were looking back, aware of a legacy that includes decades of arena-filling anthems, the deliberate reinvention of Achtung Baby, and their initial inspiration from the great spark of punk rock.
On Songs Of Innocence U2 have taken the long way 'round to metamorphosis: turning back and inward, for the first time on a whole record, to their lives and learning as boys on the way to uncertain manhood (and their band) in Dublin.
